About 25 years ago at a childrens entertainer convention in Williamsburg/USA I saw Bob Markwood doing a really great gag. Since then I have performed this gag maybe 2000 times - and still LOVE it very much. Kids and adults love it. Highly recommended material that you can include whenever you have a child seven years or older from the audience as an assistant. Here is the first part of it how I play it today:
Performer (Daniel) to child (Mary): Please repeat everything I tell you exactly as I tell it to you. And please speak loud so everybody can hear you. Dear audience! Mary: Dear audience! Performer: We show you a trick! Mary: We show you a trick! Performer: A great trick! Mary: A great trick! Performer (looking to the child and after the words to the audience): You are doing this great Mary! Mary: You are doing this great Mary! Performer (confused): Wait a moment, I am not Mary, I am Daniel! Mary: Wait a moment, I am not Mary, I am Daniel! Performer: You just said you are Mary! Mary: You just said you are Mary! Performer: I never said I am Mary! Mary: I never said I am Mary! Performer (angry): Yes you did! Never saw anything like that in print. Anybody know the origin of this gag? Any additional ideas how to present it? Give it a try. You will love it. |

Ha! Sounds like something the kids do in the backseat of the car during family vacations to annoy each other 😂

Sorry I currently do not want to describe everything here because Bob Markwood as far as I know did not publish this material.

That's a lot of consideration for a pretty bad guy.

A) I do not know anything about the character he has B) even if someone is a "pretty bad guy" it would be pretty bad to look down to him and to treat him bad because of that.
Everybody has a right to be treated with respect. Everybody. |

Today in the 268th District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas, Robert Markwood was found guilty of indecency with a minor. He was sentenced by Judge Brady Elliott to 12 years in prison. He can be considered for parole when he has served half of the sentence. In this case that will be 5 years, 4 months...as he has already served 8 months in the Fort Bend Country Jail. Please remember, a crime like this against minors is truly tragic. It was and continues to be my hope that by helping to pursue the charges brought against Markwood and by exposing what happened in my personal life others will be encouraged to also come forward, expose this man and start their own track of personal healing. Now that it is over, perhaps all the lives that have been affected, but mostly the ones I love the best, my son and his friend, will begin to heal. I thank the magic community for their support this past year. It has meant a great deal to me. I would also like to thank Houston magicians, Walter Blaney, Scott Hollingsworth, Jamie Salinas, Bob Smith, Russ McGee, Dennis Keim and Phil Kampf who all sat in the courtroom with me and my son. Sincerely, Trixie Bond |
